Aries is a sweet young Husky-shepherd mix who is too smart for his own good. He can climb fences — the last time he did that, he ended up at the shelter and then his owner moved away and left him.

He is friendly and playful with all people and dogs, and walks nicely on the leash.

Aries is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.

He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
